Did a 45 min spin class this morning. Felt a little tired as I stayed up late last night. When I got home from gym, I got my period. I did sense something strange yesterday because I felt a BIG craving for red meat and then later on felt for a huge slice of chocolate fudgy cake. Usually, I never crave chocolate,so whenever I do it is a good indication for me for what will be coming. I was pleasantly surprised to see that my tummy wasn’t bloated as usual when I am on my period. Feels good.

I was shocked to see that one of my cycling shorts had holes at the back. And I have been so busy that I dont know whether I checked to see how it looked when I wore them to the gym yesterday. So I felt a little embarrassed. And now, I need to buy a new pair of shorts. I saw some really cool pink and grey Nike one’s at the store… price tag was a little insane for my budget right now. So maybe I will just settle for some plain old H&M stuff.

22.47 i did my 5pm class. Something was the matter with my left knee. Each time I was pedaling, it felt as if i was pulling a muscle or something. So I had to stop every 5 min or so and stretch out my knee. I really didn’t want to over do it because about 4 years ago I injured my knee during a silly work sports event. And it took forever to heal. So, I decided to take it easy during the class because I didn’t want anything to sabotage my workouts that i have scheduled.

Got home and decided to make a veggie stir fry with brown rice. Was yummy and fulling … extremely fulling. I might have ate too much. I don’t know why but when it comes to Chinese/Thai/Indian kind of food, I become really greedy. Like taking bites here and there and I find that I can’t stop myself. I need to work harder at controlling this because I want to eat everything in moderation.

My moods really went up and down today. One minute happy and the next I am screaming at my fiance. Shame poor baby. He hugged me and let me know he was there for me. Then I got mad at him for being so kind. What is wrong with me ?? Two minutes later, i told him sorry and he said it’s cool. I love him madly! We shared a slice of wonderful hazelnut and chocolate cake which he baked the other day. It was good. I have decided not to act all crazy and feel guilty. Instead, I decided that I will have to rather do my 6.30 am spin class + burn 500 cals on the machines tomorrow morning. I also booked myself for the 5pm spin class. I am only exercising like mad because next week there are hardly no spin class because everybody is going away for their summer holidays :(

I watched some stuff on youtube today about the Biggest Loser. They do average 6 hour workouts on the show and this one contest continued with the program even after she left. I sat there thinking… how on earth can you manage 6 hour workouts everyday and still take care of your life ??? It really puzzled me. Also made me feel like my exercises weren’t enough. But then, i thought to myself that I could never do 6 hours everyday. That just couldn’t be my whole life. I don’t know, I guess in terms of my journey, I just want to be able to eat normally and exercise. My fiance always teaches me about balance and I am a big believe in it.

Off to bed soon. Good night and take care! xoxo
